an external config checker says it finds no valid IP' for URL:http://linuxlighthouse.comlinuxlighthouse.com, i am failing http challenge.
Correct. The DNS is broken. You need to get basic DNS working, first.

Digging into DNS further:
linuxlighthouse.com. 172800 IN NS ns3.attdns.com. linuxlighthouse.com. 172800 IN NS ws.linuxlighthouse.com.
ns3.attdns.com. 172800 IN A 144.160.20.47 ws.linuxlighthouse.com. 172800 IN A 108.220.213.121
Attempting to poke either IP address comes back with REFUSED.
Your DNS service is not working.
